Event Details
The Ido Portal Weekend Movement Experience (Movement-X)
(led by Ido Portal/Odelia Goldschmidt/John Stephan Sapinoso)
The Movement Experience is about presenting a revolutionary approach to movement development, unlike anything seen elsewhere.
During the event, participants will be exposed to concepts such as:
Handbalancing - developing handstands from the ground up, covering tools for proper alignment, breathing patterns, support capacity, wrist conditioning and more. Also supporting intermediate and advanced practitioners on their journey towards dynamic sets and one arm handstands.
Gymnastics and Bodyweight Strength - the Ido Portal Method applied to bodyweight skills such as front levers, planches and Gymnastics rings strength development as well as the very basics - chin ups, push ups and dips - learn the most well thought out approach in the market, tailored to your level. Get your first chin up/muscle up/one arm chin - with some of the knowledge shared, your journey will be quicker than ever.
Locomotion - Ido Portal's movement language that includes floor flow work with low acrobatics elements, animal locomotion, low gait, inversions, gliding patterns and much more. Locomotion includes 1200 (twelve hundred) elements, it is the most sophisticated flow system taught on the market.
The Corset - building a flexible body armor around the body. A unique and extreme approach to bullet proofing the body while making huge gains in mobility, strength and movement accessibility.
Movement Refinement/terminology - creating refined motor control for later implementation into your movement development - if you are interested in achieving an advanced movement practice like one arm handstands, low level quadrupedaling, flips, twists or one arm chin ups - you will need to control small and articulated refined motor actions using certain segments of the body in Isolation. The height of your movement refinement will dictate the height of your movement complexity.
Kinetic Koans - confronting movement riddles and learning to approach them while reaping benefits such as movement intelligence and adaptability.

The versatile attacker is likely to be deployed as an attacking midfielder by coach Jurgen Klopp, and is keen to replicate the impact made by his boyhood idol at Signal Iduna Park
Marco Reus has revealed his admiration for Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky, and hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Czech Republic international at Borussia Dortmund.The 23-year-old joined the Bundesliga champions from Borussia Monchengladbach earlier in the summer, and he is targeting making an impact for his new employers as an attacking midfielder, rather than a forward.
"Tomas Rosicky has always been my favourite player. I always tried to model my game on him," Reus was quoted as saying by Bild.
"His intelligence on the ball and the way he makes everything look easy hugely impressed me.
"I am feeling very well in the position of attacking midfielder. It's not too different from where I played at Monchengladbach."
Reus netted an impressive 18 times in 32 Bundesliga appearances for Gladbach last term, as they secured a Champions League qualifying place.

The introduction of a 1080p projector for less than $5,000 would have been big news early last year. While that field is now getting increasingly crowded, with projectors from Sony, Mitsubishi, and JVC muscling in on the action, it's still big news—news that now includes the new PT-AE1000U from Panasonic.
It is not too surprising that ViewSonic has decided to make a push into the home theater projection market. The company has a healthy lineup of business projectors and has watched other projector manufacturers successfully transition over to the HT side. But is anyone else surprised that a company known primarily for LCD TVs and monitors would go with DLP for their new line of home theater projectors? Maybe it's just me.
In the past few months we've seen a revolution in the video projection business. A revolution no one expected. The prices of home theater front projectors have been dropping nearly as fast as flat panel displays.
CEDIA 2006 was something of a riches to rags story. We saw many three-chip 1080p DLP projectors announced at prices that were ridiculous and embarrassing, stretching into the many tens of thousands of dollars. And they were introduced with straight faces. Granted, these are high light output designs that can drive enormous screens. But I didn't find these many of these designs particularly interesting. Too many recently announced projectors appear to be aimed at the ultra-wealthy sliver of the market, and don't back up their high prices by offering technical innovation that can't be found in more reasonably priced models. About the only things these announcements did was to make the $15-20K single-chip DLPs seem like they aren't quite as hideously over priced!
When 1080p home theater projectors were introduced a year or so ago, a funny thing happened on the way to the party.

The Sharp XV-Z20000 is the third 1080p single-chip DLP projector to pass through our doors. At $11,999 it bucks a growing trend to less expensive, high resolution projectors. But it's far lower in price than competitors such as the $20,000  Marantz VP-11S1 or SIM2's $15K  HT3000. And it offers a lot for the money.
Sony took official ownership of CEDIA 2006 on Day 1 when it officially announced the VPL-VW50 SXRD front projector. Sony had previously lit the world on fire with the VPL-VW100"Ruby", a fully outfitted three-chip 1080p SXRD projector with a retail of $10K, which was significantly less money than the premium single-chip 720p DLPs that ruled the day when it was released in Fall 2005 (not to mention that is a full two-thirds cheaper than Sony's first SXRD front pro, the Qualia 004).

Sure, 1080p is getting all the buzz, but even the cheapest 1080p displays are still really pricey. For example, the lowest-priced 1080p projector is 4.5 times the price of this little Optoma. The HD70, while "only" 720p, has a distinction all its own that makes it one of the coolest products to come out in months: It's the lowest-priced HD projector ever.
With all the hullabaloo about the new 1080p projectors, some of them at prices lower than any of us dreamed possible only a few months ago, is there any point in reviewing a mid-priced 720p design?

Library exhibit marks milestone for monarchy
As Queen Elizabeth II and her subjects observe the 50th anniversary of her reign with public festivities, Yale is celebrating the milestone with an exhibition of documents and memorabilia from Jubilee celebrations past and present.
A toy bus, special-issue stamps and chinaware emblazoned with the royal coat of arms are among the many commemorative items at Sterling Library marking the Jubilees of British monarchs from George III's 50th in 1809 to Elizabeth II's in 2002. Also on display are souvenir programs, verses written for the occasion by the reigning poets laureate and the manuscript of the Moss Hart/Cole Porter play "Jubilee."
Frank Prochaska, who teaches a course on the monarchy and modern British society, put the exhibition together from disparate sources with the help of students and library staff. Manuscripts and illustrated books from Yale's libraries account for most of the items on display. Prochaska notes that people who passed by as the exhibition was being put together unearthed souvenirs and mementos of their own, which they loaned to the show.
"Everything that has a Jubilee association can be marketed," Prochaska says, standing beside a case containing such Jubilee 2002 items as a Union Jack-clad Teddy bear, Queen Elizabeth II playing cards and dishtowels with a portrait of the queen and flags of the Commonwealth.
Although it can look like a commercial venture, says Prochaska, a Jubilee is a peculiarly British expression of public spirit and national unity, a way for people throughout the Commonwealth to express their support for the reigning monarch and an occasion for the monarch to reach out to her subjects.
From the Jubilees of George III and Queen Victoria (her Golden in 1887 and her Diamond 10 years later) to the present Queen's celebration, which began on Feb. 6, the bestowal of royal patronage on favorite charities and public projects has been a hallmark of the event, he notes. Traditionally, during Jubilee celebrations the monarch pardons prisoners, relieves debtors and provides public festivities.
"Britain is a republic with an hereditary royal president," says Prochaska. "Republics need festivities and spectacles to amuse and distract the public. An hereditary monarchy provides the opportunities for celebration through weddings, coronations and jubilees. Street parties, royal visits and grand staged events help to foster a sense of civic pride, social responsibility and national unity in a nation undergoing continuous social change."
While the exhibition plays up the popularity of the Royal family, it also pays heed to a vocal anti-monarchist minority. Standing out among the artifacts extolling the virtues of the reigning monarch is a record with scathing anti-royalist lyrics by the Sex Pistols, ironically titled "God Save the Queen." Prochaska says he had to comb many record stores to find it.
The exhibition will run through the end of July at Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High St. The library's summer hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 8:30 a.m.-10 p.m. on Thursday; and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday. The library is closed on Sunday.

replay debugger. The debugger was ported from Caml Light recently
and still contains a few rough edges, but is already very helpful.
Other options include inserting print
statements in your
code (often the best way to deal with really large programs), or load
it under the toplevel system and use the trace facility.
Source-level debugging of native code is technically very challenging and will probably never be supported. Instead, we aim at 100% compatibility between the bytecode and native-code compilers, so that programs can be debugged on the bytecode system, then compiled to efficient native code.
With the native-code compiler, you can try to use the standard Unix
profiler gprof
on the executable file. Just add the
option at link-time. (As of release 2.00, this is fully
supported only on Linux/Intel and Alpha/Digital Unix machines.)

The fourth time is the charm. After making at least three previous attempts to construct a terrain park at Pajarito Mountain Ski Area, the ski area is ready to unveil its latest work, which called Madre Loca Terrain Park or Crazy Mother Terrain Park.
The open house will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday at the ski hill. The terrain park is located at the top of Easy Mother ski run, right next to the Mother Lift.
The event will include a terrain clinic by PSIA Alpine Demonstration Team and Twin Tip Nation demo team with beverages provided by Santa Fe Brewing.
Many people know parts of Robert Oppenheimer's story, particularly his time at Los Alamos playing a significant role in the Manhattan Project. There are other parts of Oppenheimer that people are not as conscious of, until now.
Historian Jon Hunner will be discussing these lesser known aspects of Oppenheimer's life during the upcoming Los Alamos Historical Society's lecture at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Fuller Lodge. The lecture is free.
There is a lot to celebrate this month. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 19, is an opportunity to recognize one man's profound achievements while Inauguration Day, which is Jan. 20, represents a monumental success that is shared by President-elect Obama and an entire nation.
What better way to celebrate these two events than with a community party?
As 2008 came to an end, the United Church of Los Alamos held not only a special place in the community, but a special place in the millennium as well. The church was recently selected to receive one of 15 awards presented nationwide from Church World Service.
The award comes in conjunction with taking part in national and world projects, like disaster relief as well as local activities like the Crop Walk. Church World Service Regional Director Art Ziemann made the recognition.
Whether you love the snow or you've got the winter doldrums, Friday you can jump into a different season at the Art Center at Fuller Lodge. From 5-7 p.m. Friday everyone is invited to attend an opening reception for the exhibit "Four Seasons," a tribute to the glorious ever-changing cycle of the natural world.
Artists capture the delight of summer, autumn, winter and the spring in paintings, photographs, fiber and ceramics.
It was not just a hail of applause that showered the cast of the melodrama, "Ten Nights in a Barroom," there were also peanuts.
The story and the cast gave the audience a lot of enthusiasm to make the theatre rain nuts.
Skating with my niece and nephew last week was a glide down memory lane for me. As we made circles around the Los Alamos Ice Rink, with its thick crust of ice shavings and chilly air, I was reminded of another ice rink in another town.
This year the Los Alamos Little Theater presents "Ten Nights in a Barroom," an adaptation by Fred Carmichael of William W. Pratt's original work. Remaining performances are at 8:15 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Jan. 16, 17, 23 and 24. There are no matinee performances.
Two Los Alamos students, Catherine Chen, pianist and Jennifer Kwon, violinist will represent New Mexico in the senior division at the Southwest Divisional Competition of the Music Teachers National Association.
The contest will be held in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday and Sunday. The Los Alamos students competed for first place on their specific instrument and the honor of representing the state at the Professional Music Teachers Conference, which was held Nov. 14-15 in Los Alamos.
This week we look at Asset #35, Resistance Skills. According to the Search Institute, "Youth are more likely to grow up healthy when they can resist negative peer pressure, and dangerous situations.
According to data for the nation, only 46 percent of youth report having this skill.
If I could tell you in a 700-word column how to solve this problem, I'd be a wealthy woman.
This is one of those skills that must be acquired over time and doesn't just happen because they reach the magical age of 18 or 21.
If your New Year's resolution is to get into shape and be fit, as well gain greater strength and vitality, the opportunity to fulfill this resolution has arrived.
The Los Alamos Cooperative Extension Service and the Los Alamos Retired and Senior Organization are offering two strength training program options, StrongWomen, and Men Growing Stronger.
Both programs were developed by Tufts University at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in Boston.
It's a rather unusual lunch, participants can sample morsels of trombone, trumpet and piano music; they can savor classical, Brazilian and ragtime sounds. While there will not be anything edible for people to sink their teeth into, the Los Alamos Arts Council's upcoming Brown Bag concert will definitely satisfy people's appetite for music.
The concert, which will be held at 12:30 p.m. Jan. 7 at Fuller Lodge, will feature Donna Smith on piano and Jan McDonald on trumpet.
It's the photography enthusiasts' time to shine. The Los Alamos Photography Club will host an upcoming photography show and the Los Alamos Historical Society will offer shutterbugs a chance to have their work printed on holiday greeting cards, the electric click of shutters and the bright lights of flashes are sure to be seen and heard throughout town.
I remember years ago walking through a photography exhibit and reading a quote by a photographer who said that the art in photography isn't how you take a photo but where you are standing.
Think about growing up and the many years you spent in school.
Was there one person in that school building that made a difference in your life? Were there many?
Well if they're still alive, drop this paper and pick up the phone or a pen and let them know as soon as possible.
The Los Alamos Public Schools has hundreds of employees who pull off a variety of tasks people may never even know about, on a daily basis.
AARP New Mexico honored Robert Nunz of Los Alamos as a 2008 Andrus Award Nominee.
The annual Andrus Award is named for Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus who founded AARP. The award honors those who exemplify her spirit of giving back to others. It is bestowed on outstanding AARP volunteers who make a powerful difference in their communities, in ways that support AARP's vision of community service and inspire others to volunteer.
This week, we look at Asset #34, Cultural Competence. According to the Search-Institute, "Youth are more likely to grow up healthy when they have knowledge of and comfort with people of different cultural/racial/ethnic background."
Our community should be one of the best with this Asset. Nationally, 42 percent of youth report having this asset and 47 percent of our local youth, according to the most recent data, also report having this asset.
Bridge involves a lot of thought and teamwork. Players need to communicate with teammates to determine, based on their cards, whether they should bid to take certain tricks or sit back and defend.
It is also a card game that Los Alamos resident Jerry Flemming has loved since attending college in the mid-'60s. "I find bridge to be an absolutely fascinating, challenging card game," he said.
For some people, the New Year may be started off with fireworks, or clouds of confetti or glasses clinking together, but why not do things a little differently for 2009? Kick off the New Year with drama.
Los Alamos Little Theatre is hosting a special New Year's Eve performance of its upcoming production of "Ten Nights in a Barroom."
The doors of the Little Theatre will open at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Seeing family during the holidays turned into an opportunity to host a concert for pianist Roy Dunlap.
Dunlap, who resides in New York, will be visiting his sister Piper Wohlbier and her husband, John, in Los Alamos this week; additionally, he will be performing a concert, "An Evening of Jazz," at 7 p.m. Sunday at Fuller Lodge.
The program, Dunlap explained, will mostly be holiday tunes, including music from the "Nutcracker Suite" along with some traditional holiday music.
It's surprising just how much a person is able to achieve, if she gives herself a chance. While participating in a yoga class, the instructor decided to present a different yoga position to the session, one unlike all the cobras, downward dogs, planks and child poses that had be executed for most of the time. For this move, the participants had to kneel, twist to one side, loop one arm across their back, circle the other arm underneath their leg, touch both hands, then slowly stand up and extend the leg slung between their arms.

Let's Skill All the Lawyers: Shakespearean Lessons in Law and RhetoricHarold Anthony LloydWake Forest University School of Law March 6, 2010 6 Acta Iuridica Olomucensia 9 (2010) Abstract: Shakespeare's works present intriguing explorations of law and legal theory. They help demonstrate the flaws in command-theory positivism, natural law theory and prediction theory accounts of the law. Shakespeare's works also provide insights into a workable jurisprudence complying with the semiotics of law and its ten inherent restraints (the "semiotic decalogue"). As a semantic enterprise, the semiotics of law necessarily involves rhetoric. Concomitant with Shakespeare's legal explorations, his works explore rhetorical theory and practice and provide useful lessons in rhetorical success and failure.

So armed my little checklist of things to look for on a counterfeit ergo baby carrier , I waited patiently for my ebay purchase of a new designer ergobaby carrier in Innsbruck. I knew from the start that I was taking a risk, but I looked for a buyer that clearly had good feedback and a return policy just in case. After getting my carrier I excitedly went through my checklist and was feeling safer by the minute. It was so nice and super soft. After using it for a week I started to notice 2 things that sent up red flags and so I decided to contact Ergobaby directly. I had registered my carrier on their website so I thought I wouldn't have any problems...although in the back of my head I was already preparing for what she was going to tell me. My precious Ergobaby carrier was an impostor! No way!! I had spent hours researching, but I did notice I could find no information on this particular model of Ergos. It appears these fakers have gotten so good, its nearly impossible to tell unless you have them both in your hand at the same time. So I decided to contact the seller where he agreed to give me $145 to purchase a Authentic Ergobaby carrier and I got him to let me keep the knock-off so that I may do this blog. I just got my ergo baby australia
from an approved vendor on their list and here is what I found........
My next and final Ed Flag was the safety elastic on the waist belt and shoulder belt began to stretch out and have a ruffled appearance. This being a "Safety" elastic, I knew for sure that this could in no way be an authentic ergobaby. I was really mad since I had sat there with my little checklist of things and at very first glance, thought I had the real thing. You can see clearly the defective area. Note also that the real ergobaby has placed their elastic right at the edge where as the fakes is about an inch into the belt. This would be one of the things I check in the future to verify authenticity.Below is another fake ergo carrier I got as a handme down. Not knowing the brand much at the time, I loved it until the straps started to tear. Only when I went to sell it did I realize it want an baby carrier reviews
. Now having had these experiences, its very obvious on this carrier. The logo looks similar but it clearly says "The Ergo Baby" on it If you found this information helpful in anyway, could you please stop by Facebook and vote for my kids 1st day of school pic! Your time would be super appreciated. Just click and vote...very quick

Vienna Convention on Road Traffic
Signed | 8 November 1968 |
Location | Vienna |
Effective | 21 May 1977 |
Signatories | 36 |
Parties | 73 (as of August 2014)[1] |
Depositary | UN Secretary-General |
Languages | English, French, Chinese, Russian and Spanish |
Vienna Convention on Road Traffic at Wikisource |
The Convention on Road Traffic, commonly known as the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, is an international treaty designed to facilitate international road traffic and to increase road safety by establishing standard traffic rules among the contracting parties. The convention was agreed upon at the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Conference on Road Traffic (7 October – 8 November 1968) and concluded in Vienna on 8 November 1968. It came into force on 21 May 1977. The convention has been ratified by 73 countries, but those who have not ratified the convention may still be parties to the 1949 Convention on Road Traffic. This conference also produced the Convention on Road Signs and Signals.
Cross-border vehicles[edit]
One of the main benefits of the convention for motorists is the obligation on signatory countries to recognise the legality of vehicles from other signatory countries. The following requirements must be met when driving outside the country of registration:
- Cars must display their registration number at the front and rear, even if legislation in the jurisdiction of registration does not require a front vehicle registration plate on cars. Motorcycles need display their registration number only at the rear. Registration numbers must be displayed in Latin characters and Arabic numerals. In addition to this, the registration number may optionally be displayed in a different alphabet.
- A distinguishing sign of the country of registration must be displayed on the rear of the vehicle. This sign may either be placed separately from the registration plate or may be incorporated into the vehicle registration plate. When the distinguishing sign is incorporated into the registration plate, it must also appear on the front registration plate of the vehicle. The physical requirements for the separate sign are defined in Annex 3 of the convention, which states that it must comprise black writing on a white oval background and that it must not form part of the vehicle's registration number. In practice, the requirement to display the white oval is mutually waived between some countries, for example between the European Union countries (where the white oval may be substituted by a blue strip on the Vehicle registration plates of Europe),[2] and between Canada, the United States, and Mexico (where the province, state or district of registration is usually embossed or surface-printed on the vehicle registration plate).
- The vehicle must meet all technical requirements to be legal for road use in the country of registration. Any conflicting technical requirements (e.g., right-hand-drive or left-hand-drive) in the signatory country where the vehicle is being driven do not apply.
- The driver must carry the vehicle's registration certificate, and if the vehicle is not registered in the name of an occupant of the vehicle (e.g., a hire car), proof of the driver's right to be in possession of the vehicle.
The USA and China are the most notable example of a non-signatory country. Short-term tourists are not allowed to bring cars into China at all. All foreign registered vehicles in China must display a Chinese vehicle registration plate.
The convention also addresses minimum mechanical and safety equipment needed to be on board and defines an Identification mark (Annex 4) to identify the origin of the vehicle.
Contracting Parties[edit]
The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic was concluded at Vienna on 8 November 1968. Since its entry into force on 21 May 1977, in signatory countries ("Contracting Parties") it replaces previous road traffic Conventions, notably the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, in accordance with Article 48 of the Convention.
International conventions on transit transport[edit]
The broad objective of these International Conventions and Agreements, the depositary of which is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, is to facilitate international transport while providing for a high level of safety, security, and environmental protection in transport:[3]
- Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be used for such Carriage (ATP) (1970)
- Convention on Customs Treatment of Pool Containers Used in International Transport (1994)
- Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods By Road (1956) and its Protocol (1978)
- Convention concerning Customs Facilities for Touring (1954)
- Customs Convention on Containers (1956, 1972)
- Customs Convention on the Temporary Importation of Commercial Road Vehicles (1956)
- Customs Convention on the Temporary Importation of Private Road Vehicles (1954)
- European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) (1957) and its Protocol amending articles 1 and 14 (1993)
- Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949)
- European Agreement concerning the Work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in International Road Transport (1970)
- International Convention to Facilitate the Crossing of Frontiers for Passengers and Baggage carried by Rail (1952)
- International Convention to Facilitate the Crossing of Frontiers for Goods Carried by Rail (1952)
- International Convention on the Harmonization of Frontier Controls of Goods (1982)
- TIR Convention

Here are a few C programs to test the floating-point arithmetic of your machine:
Miscellaneous tests of the floating-point arithmetic: test of the evaluation of the floating-point expressions in C (showing a bug in gcc when the processor is configured in extended precision, e.g. under Linux/x86), test of the addition and the multiplication with signed zeros, test of the power function pow
. The results on various machines (compressed archive) and a partial summary (text file).
Test of the nearest integer functions, in the four IEEE-754 rounding modes: cast to int type, trunc
, floor
, ceil
, round
, nearbyint
, rint
. These tests show a bug in the PowerPC implementation of the rint
function in the glibc (fixed in the CVS on 6 January 2005).
Test of the arc tangent function atan
(see Debian bug 210613).
Test of the logarithm function log
(see Debian bug 210400).
Test of the sine function sin
Test of the overflow behavior with gcc and intermediate extended precision (e.g. under Linux/x86).
Test of the gamma functions tgamma
, lgamma
and lgamma_r
Test of the remquo
Test of the fma
function (see glibc bug 3268 and Debian bug 372544).
Test the effect of the contraction to FMA by computing sqrt (a * a - b * b)
with a = b (the code is written in such a way that this equality should not be used for optimizing at compile time). Under some conditions, the ISO C99 standard allows floating expressions to be contracted: for instance, the expression x * y + z
can be contracted into a single operation (with only one rounding) on processors that have a FMA. In general, this improves the accuracy of the numerical computations, but this can also have the opposite effect, and even yield side effects, as in the above code, where the symmetry is broken by the introduction of a FMA. That's why the contraction of floating expressions can be disabled by the FP_CONTRACT pragma; in this case, the result of this program should always be 0. But as gcc ignores FP_CONTRACT pragma set to OFF, it gives incorrect results on PowerPC and IA-64 (Itanium) processors. Worse, even on the general (non-trivial and possibly useful in practice) case a >= b ? sqrt (a * a - b * b) : 0
, one can get a NaN.
For instance, when running contract2fma (compiled with gcc on one of the two mentioned architectures) on 1, 1.1 and 1.2, one gets:
Test of a >= b ? sqrt (a * a - b * b) : 0 with FP_CONTRACT OFF test(1) = 0 test(1.1000000000000000888) = 2.9802322387695326562e-09 test(1.1999999999999999556) = nan
Measure the fegetround
performance when the rounding mode doesn't change. See glibc very old thread, and in particular this message.

Halford -- San Francisco, CA -- July 17, 2010
Holy shit, it was rarities night! No real epic show stories (well maybe one...) here, but I'll just narrate my night I suppose.
We got in around when doors opened up and got on the balcony directly facing the stage. It had one hell of a view, better than rail in my opinion since the sound was better and there were no monitors in our face. So after we get comfortable, I see none other than CHUCK FUCKING BILLY down the hall. After freaking out, I run towards him and his ladyfriend (wife?) and say hello. I shook his hand and now my hand feels about 100x times more metal. I asked when the new album is coming out, and he said they're working on it right now and it should be out early next year (after of course telling him that The Gathering was one of my favorite metal albums ever). So the opening band was Cylinder from Santa Cruz. They sucked. Horribly. Their singer sounded like he belonged in a country version of Nickelback (I'll kill someone if I hear someone say "y'all" in person again). And his screams sucked big time. The riffs seemed alright, but they seemed more akin to Alice In Chains on a bad night than anything remotely close to Rob Halford. Only heard of the band today, so no setlist. However I know their closing song was "Don't Count On Me" if anyone actually gives a damn. And now, Rob Halford. This show was so unconventional, I just didn't know what to expect by about half way through. No leather and cape from the big man, just a coat and black pants and then down to a t-shirt and aforementioned pants. Opening with Silent Screams was downright odd, but it was a pretty epic opening. Rob's voice was somewhat nasal to begin with, but it was amazingly consistent for the show and dude hit every scream. He also premiered a new song from the new Halford album coming in October. The riffs were definitely better than "The Mower" but the lyrics were repetitive. The rest were some of the deepest cuts you could find from the guy's catalog. Even the Fight songs were obscure! And Drop Out never even came out on an album before! The only Priest song was "Never Satisfied," which wasn't as surprising since it's been apart of the promotion of his new live album. Oh and they gave away free copies of Crucible at the merch booth. I will be honest, I'm a Priest nut that's simply too young to make any crazy claims about Rob's performances. BUT, I've analyzed the evolution of Rob's voice from '77 to now based on YouTube videos, live concerts, dvds and albums so much, I know by heart what his voice sounds like during a given time period. Rob will never ever sound the way he did in the late 70s and the 80s again. People grow older. But goddamn did Rob sound as good as he did on the Resurrection tour in 2001. Since that tour Rob's voice slowly declined in strength until 2005's Angel of Retribution tour where it was just plain rough, but since then he's improved with every tour, and this time was no exception. Rob Halford was just plain simply outstanding tonight. Hearing him pull of Resurrection like it was nothing was nothing short of mind-blowing. The man's got a few screams and then some left in him, even if we'll never hear Victim of Changes the same way it was done on Unleashed In the East ever again. Oh yeah, no "You've Got Another Thing Comin," "Breaking the Law," or "Metal Gods!" How often does that happen?! 1. Silent Screams 2. Made of Metal?? (New song with those words in the chorus. I'm assuming since that's name of the new album that it is it's title track) 3. Resurrection 4. Made In Hell 5. Never Again 6. Drop Out 7. Golgotha 8. Heart of a Lion 9. Never Satisfied 10. I Am Alive 11. Saviour ENCORE 12. Crystal 13. Rock the World Forever It was a shorter set than I would have liked, clocking in at maybe 75 minutes, but every song was an under-appreciated gem and you could tell Rob was happy to bust out the rare stuff if his repeated saying of "You've made me so happy, thank you" wasn't indicative enough. I came out of that show feeling a little different than I did at most of my concerts. I come out of my favorite shows feeling like I've witnessed something truly epic and special. Eric Clapton raping on guitar in summer 2009, Exodus playing for 2 hours to their hometown with their friends last June, High On Fire completely upstaging 7 other damn good bands at the Missing Link last May and my first concert ever, Blue Oyster Cult in June 2007. I came out not thinking I'd seen something amazingly epic, but rather something spontaneous, one of a kind and fun. I will probably never see any of these songs live ever again, and that reason alone made the concert worth it. They were great songs, and they deserve to be heard live. But as long as the mighty Judas Priest exists, those songs will always be shut down in favor of some of the greatest metal songs ever. And to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. But tonight was a fun change of pace, and if anyone gets the opportunity to see Halford live, do it. Who knows how much time Rob's got left in him, and these songs deserve a home in our ears. |
Crap, I was really hoping he would play Tyrant again.
You know its true, bunny rabbits we have got lovely little fluffy bottoms. We do. That's why people often mistake us for Danny Devito. |
You warned us that it was rarities night but even with that I expected a few Priest gems. You could pick a setlist out of a hat and blow that away. At least you go to meet Chuck though.

This study will train Lay Health Promoters (LHPs) from African-American churches to administer healthy living lessons and activities to their congregations in order to improve overall health and address cardiovascular disease. The primary hypothesis is that LHP training combined with a well supported maintenance strategy will be more effective than LHP training alone in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Condition | Intervention |
Cardiovascular Disease Hypertension Diabetes Obesity |
Behavioral: Lay Health Promoter (LHP) with maintenance |
Study Type: | Interventional |

Behavioral: Lay Health Promoter (LHP) with maintenance
- Faith-Based Intervention
- Faith-Based Program
The GoodNEWS Trial is an 18-month effectiveness trial with an 18-month extended maintenance study, among 20 African-American and low-income congregations participating in the GoodNEWS faith-based lay health promotion program. After training, congregations will be randomized to either GoodNEWS with a health maintenance intervention (GoodNEWS-I) or GoodNEWS program alone (GoodNEWS-PA). The maintenance intervention combines elements of the medical care model and features of community-based support. Primary data collection will occur at baseline, 18, and 36 months with the two primary outcomes being levels of physical activity as measured by 7- Day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) and dietary change as measured by the Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ). The primary hypothesis is that the maintenance group will significantly increase physical activity and healthy eating behavior compared to the program only group. We also hypothesize that lipoprotein and glucose levels, and blood pressure will be significantly improved over baseline in the GoodNEWS-I group and that these changes will be significantly greater than in the GoodNEWS-PA group. At the end of the trial, both groups will continue in an 18-month extended maintenance study.

Colin and Justin give a nod to everything coastal
As much as we enjoy lavishing our client homes with indulgent spend whenever budget permits, we also enjoy dramatic results when our paymasters wallets are somewhat restrained. As we often maintain, it's not how much money we spend, but how we spend it that makes the biggest difference and, for many reasons (upon which we'll shortly extrapolate), today's before and after is perfect testament to this premise. Pre-transformation, the dowdy bedroom bore all the appeal of the cabin in Deliverance, and we're sure you recall the horror quotient of that particular movie.

zoomAs much as we enjoy lavishing our client homes with indulgent spend whenever budget permits, we also enjoy dramatic results when our paymasters wallets are somewhat restrained. As we often maintain, it's not how much money we spend, but how we spend it that makes the biggest difference and, for many reasons (upon which we'll shortly extrapolate), today's before and after is perfect testament to this premise. Pre-transformation, the dowdy bedroom bore all the appeal of the cabin in Deliverance, and we're sure you recall the horror quotient of that particular movie.
The grim space desperately needed our input and we, of course, were happy to help. Before settling at our drawing boards, however, we listened intently to the wishes of our clients, a lovely young couple who aspired to an eminently lighter and fresher life. Being that they didn't have access to a cottage, they hoped we could somehow imbue their ramshackle city home with a little rustic flair. And so it came to pass that, with a little auspicious planning, careful shopping and an eye trained firmly on budget, we pulled off another minor miracle.
So why stripes? Well, aside from the fact we love 'em, stripes have almost universal appeal. To some they conjure up images of bright, jaunty deck chairs set out on warm sunny beaches. To others they typify the sartorial restraint of business suits; all professional reserve and orderly decorum. To kids, stripes suggest candy and fun.
Whenever we compose our schemes, there's generally a stripe somewhere; in a bold wallpaper, for example, as a subtle detail in an elegant floor rug or a simple whisper in a single toss pillow launched onto an accent chair as a final embellishment.
Style explanations aside, let's look again at the economics of this scheme. We didn't remove any walls. We laid a natural sea grass floor instead of expensive lumber. We bought a "gently used" bed frame. And we farmed linens from the affordable fields of Ikea. Oh yes, and we used paint; lots of it.
Make Good the Bad
Come on guys; slow down. Don't throw yourselves at a job unless you're 100 per cent ready to tackle the undertaking with gusto; it makes far more sense to wait until budget and time are perfectly in tandem. Stopping and starting, mid project, makes little sense to us. Before moving ahead we fix every problem and we make good all surfaces. Be under no illusion; in the world of C&J, even the simplest jobs are afforded the most critical scrutiny.
In this instance, our team carefully removed the dated wood wall panelling and then the textured finish from the ceiling. This done, new drywall and two coats of brilliant white paint were applied to provide a clean palette upon which to impose our brand new look.
Get the layout right
Beds generally look best when positioned centre stage rather than stuffed in a corner like our clients previous box spring. Opting for "centre stage" provides immediate focus and enough space to flank it with nightstands and lamps. Positioning a comfy sofa and a gnarly table in the solarium delineate it as a tempting seating nook, beset with lashings of hotel-like comfort. If your space is tighter, scale down to a loveseat or perhaps a comfy chaise longue. The Ektorp three seater featured here costs just $549 from Ikea branches across Canada.
Low cost high style
We purchased a pine four poster from Marty Millionaire, a treasure trove shopping destination that's crammed to the max with a combo of good quality secondhand furniture and new production pieces. Pine, as a genus, is much more affordable than oak or mahogany and, as such, the naughty, sorry, knotty $500 bed frame made a perfect starting point.
To provide exciting new identity, we sanded the frame to remove the factory sprayed lacquer before re-colouring it with two coats of white satin finish. The next stage in our reinvention was the addition of yellow banding in selected areas. To achieve this look we used masking tape and a small foam roller. Ah! Cool summery looks without breaking the bank.
Stripe it out
Having discovered inexpensive yellow bedding in Ikea (it was this, in fact, that inspired our striped bed), we embarked upon a simple project. Buying a total of three sets, we kept one to dress the bed and took the others to a seamstress who used them to create Roman blinds, measured neatly into the window apertures. If you scan our back catalogue, you'll observe that we don't generally match window coverings to bed coverings; however, as the simple striped pattern is sufficiently low key, and because the sets were so affordable (much cheaper than buying stock fabric from elsewhere), we decreed it a sensible route.
Feel it
Textures like coir, sea grass and jute immediately impart a whiff of Ralph Lauren beach-style atmosphere, especially when teamed with signature stripes to bolster the look. What's more, their beautiful style notes add an extra tactile dimension. One of our favourite natural flooring companies is Millenia Carpet and we regularly specify from these guys as we find their ranges to be both affordable and hard wearing. For further inspiration, browse the celebrated RL Magazine online at entertainment.ralphlauren.com/magazine. Prepare to swoon and lust . . .
Add coastal motifs
As is often the case, it's at final layering stage that projects start to properly "breathe." When detailing this scheme, for example, we spelled out our decorative objectives with simple artwork, shell pictures (matted in yellow to match the bedding), driftwood sculptures and a chunky wooden table, all of which provide a nod to everything coastal.
Hopefully you'll be inspired by our zesty project but, if yellow's not your bag, don't panic; here are some simple alternatives. Perhaps our coastal vibe might better float your boat were you to substitute our sunny tone for baby blue? Or perhaps soft washy green? If you fancy amplifying drama, it would be similarly easy; replace our yellow specification with red. To complete the look, add a few shots of cobalt blue via toss pillows and throws and, hey presto! Ralph Lauren eat your heart out. Design flexibility, huh? Leave it to us.
